Mission of NGO



"The strategic objectives of Autism Canada focus on changing the future for those living with autism and their families. We are committed to creating and advocating for universal access to the best treatments, services and supports"





History of NGO


"Autism Canada is the result of an amalgamation of two national autism organizations, Autism Society Canada (est. 1976) and Autism Canada Foundation(est. 2002). Both were trailblazers on their own. When they came together to reflect on how to best support the Canadian autism community, the two realized that collectively they could do much more than they could individually. The result is Autism Canada – the only autism advocacy organization with a national perspective on the issues currently facing those with ASD, their families and other stakeholders."



Overview (Details: who, what, when, how, why)


this basically explains it.
(this has been copied and pasted from theyre website)
"Autism Canada has been the hub of knowledge and understanding about Autism Spectrum Disorder in Canada since 1976. Our mandate is to work collaboratively with our provincial and territorial organizations, associations and societies to champion ASD priorities. We curate the exchange of information between individuals with ASD, families, professionals, researchers, governments and the public. Autism Canada actively encourages the sharing of best practices and programs, and advocates passionately for Canadians living with autism."



Reason of choosing NGO

Because I, personally, have Autism myself (though I am unsure if Asbergers is still considered Autism) and I would very much like to find out more about it.
